Chapter 426: The Luo Family (6)

For a long time, no one in the room spoke.

Everyone took it for granted that the Turks had no ambitions for Spring City. Every time, they would only snatch something because they couldn’t get it. Unexpectedly, Shen Miao talked about this matter through a different perspective and caught everyone off guard.

That was right. The Turks had everything. Why shouldn’t they have ambition for Spring City? If the Turks wanted to take over Spring City, how could the people of Spring City resist?

Luo Sa’s expression slowly changed. He glanced at Shen Miao. Although his tone was still not friendly, it was much better than his angry tone just now. He said, “Then what do you propose?”

“I think the Luo army is not as united as the Shen army,” Shen Miao said politely. However, as a matter of fact, the Luo army was simply a mess. “When I was young, I heard from my mother that when Grandpa was young, he led the Luo army to war. Grandpa, have you never thought about restoring the Luo army back to its former glory?”

Everyone in the room gasped. Even Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Miao in disbelief.

Luo Qian and Luo Tan’s eyes lit up. The younger generation always looked forward to becoming a hero. The scene Shen Miao painted could at least satisfy the vanity of the younglings. Luo Ling and Luo Sa were older and did not show much enthusiasm, but a trace of hope still flashed across Luo Sa’s eyes.

Luo Sui looked at Shen Miao for a while and suddenly said with a smile, “Little girl, you’re quite ambitious. It’s rare that a place like the capital can nurture a tough nut like you.”

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin immediately felt honored. However, after a moment, Luo Sui sighed and said in an unclear tone, “It’s just that. Restoring the glory of the Luo army is not as simple as you say. The army and food require money, so how can the Luo family afford it? Do you want us to spend all the money of the Luo family on an army that has no use?”

“The emperor doesn’t want to give the Luo family money to maintain the army because the Luo army is not outstanding. However, if the Luo army is famous and wins the war, His Majesty will take the initiative to send money here. As for the enemy…” Shen Miao smiled.” Ming Qi has never lacked enemies. When the army gathers enough victories, it will surely be put to better use by His Majesty. Grandpa, what do you think?”

Put aside whether what Shen Miao said was true or not, just the fact that she was analyzing the situation calmly with a smile showed her shocking ambition. Despite just arriving from the capital, she gave people an impression that she had gone through all the calamities life had to offer.

Luo Sui suddenly flared up. He stood up and flicked his sleeve, saying coldly, “There’s no need to mention rebuilding the Luo army. I don’t agree! Xueyan, bring them down to rest. There’s no need to discuss this matter in the future.” With that, he turned around and left without looking at everyone in the hall.

Luo Sui’s fury came so suddenly that even Luo Xueyan was caught off guard. Shen Qiu rubbed Shen Miao’s head and stood firmly on her side. “Sister, good job!”

Luo Sa glanced at her and whispered to Luo Ling, “This little cousin is not simple.”

Luo Ling smiled and said, “Maybe.”

Luo Tan curled his lips. “She’s just glib-tongued. Even Grandpa is angered by her.”

Luo Qian shook his head and stared at Shen Miao, who was talking to Shen Qiu. “Not only is she glib-tongued, but she’s also very beautiful. Sister, she’s prettier than you!”

Luo Tan glared at him.
